1. What is Enoxaparin sodium Ledraxen and what is it used for

Enoxaparin sodium Ledraxen contains the active substance enoxaparin sodium. It belongs to a group of medicines called low molecular weight heparins or LMWHs.
Enoxaparin sodium Ledraxen works in two ways:

  • 1) It prevents the growth of existing blood clots. This helps the body to dissolve existing blood clots, so they are no longer harmful.
  • 2) It prevents the formation of new blood clots in the patient's blood.

Enoxaparin sodium Ledraxen can be used for:

  • Treating blood clots that are already present in the patient's blood.
  • Preventing the formation of blood clots in the patient's blood in the following cases: before and after surgery, during a short-term illness when the patient will be unable to move for a period of time

in patients who have developed blood clots in the circulating blood due to cancer, to further prevent the formation of new blood clots

  • Preventing the formation of blood clots in unstable angina (when insufficient blood is supplied to the heart muscle) or after a heart attack
  • Preventing the formation of blood clots in the tubes of the dialyzer (used in people with severe kidney function disorders).

2. Important information before using Enoxaparin sodium Ledraxen

Do not use Enoxaparin sodium Ledraxen if:

  • the patient is allergic to: enoxaparin sodium or any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in section 6) heparin or other low molecular weight heparins, such as nadroparin, tinzaparin, or dalteparin. Symptoms of an allergic reaction may include: rash, difficulty breathing or swallowing, swelling of the face, lips, tongue, mouth, throat, or eyes.
  • the patient has had a reaction to heparin that caused a significant decrease in the number of blood cells responsible for blood clotting (platelets) in the last 100 days.
  • there are antibodies against enoxaparin in the patient's blood.
  • the patient has severe bleeding or a medical condition associated with an increased risk of bleeding, such as: stomach ulcers, recent brain or eye surgery, or recent hemorrhagic stroke.
  • the patient is taking Enoxaparin sodium Ledraxen to treat blood clots, and a lumbar puncture or surgery under spinal or epidural anesthesia is planned within 24 hours.

Warnings and precautions

Enoxaparin sodium Ledraxen should not be used interchangeably with other low molecular weight heparins.
This is because they are not exactly the same, differ in activity, and have different instructions for use.
Before starting to use Enoxaparin sodium Ledraxen, you should discuss with your doctor or pharmacist if:

  • the patient has ever had a reaction to heparin that caused a large decrease in the number of blood cells responsible for blood clotting (platelets)
  • the patient has had a heart valve replaced
  • the patient has endocarditis (infection of the membrane lining the heart)
  • the patient has a history of stomach ulcers
  • the patient has recently had a stroke
  • the patient has high blood pressure
  • the patient has diabetes or has vascular disorders in the eyes caused by diabetes (so-called diabetic retinopathy)
  • the patient has recently had eye or brain surgery
  • the patient is elderly (over 65 years), especially if they are over 75 years old
  • the patient has kidney disease
  • the patient has liver disease
  • the patient is underweight or overweight
  • the patient has an increased level of potassium in the blood (which can be checked with a blood test)
  • the patient is currently taking medications that may cause bleeding (see section 2 "Enoxaparin sodium Ledraxen and other medicines").
  • the patient has spinal problems or has had spinal surgery.

If any of the above situations apply to the patient or the patient has any doubts, they should discuss this with their doctor or pharmacist before starting to use Enoxaparin sodium Ledraxen.
This medicine contains less than 1 mmol (23 mg) of sodium per dose, which means it is essentially "sodium-free".

  • Change from medicines that thin the blood, known as vitamin K antagonists (such as warfarin), to Enoxaparin sodium LedraxenStop taking the vitamin K antagonist. The doctor will advise the patient to have blood tests to measure the INR and will tell the patient when to start taking Enoxaparin sodium Ledraxen.
  • Change from Enoxaparin sodium Ledraxen to direct oral anticoagulantsStop taking Enoxaparin sodium Ledraxen. Then start taking the direct oral anticoagulant 0 to 2 hours before the scheduled time of the next injection; and then continue taking the medicine as usual.
  • Change from direct oral anticoagulant to Enoxaparin sodium LedraxenStop taking the direct oral anticoagulant. Treatment with Enoxaparin sodium Ledraxen can start 12 hours after the last dose of the direct oral anticoagulant.

Use of a higher dose of Enoxaparin sodium Ledraxen than recommended

If the patient thinks they have used too much or too little Enoxaparin sodium Ledraxen, they should immediately inform their doctor, pharmacist, or nurse, even if they do not have any symptoms. In case of accidental injection or ingestion of Enoxaparin sodium Ledraxen by a child, immediately go to the hospital emergency department.

Missing a dose of Enoxaparin sodium Ledraxen

If a dose is missed, it should be taken as soon as possible. Do not take a double dose to make up for a missed dose. Keeping a diary helps to ensure that no dose is missed.

Stopping Enoxaparin sodium Ledraxen

It is important to continue injecting Enoxaparin sodium Ledraxen until the doctor tells you to stop. If treatment is stopped, a blood clot may form, which can be very dangerous.
If you have any further questions about the use of this medicine, ask your doctor, pharmacist, or nurse.

4. Possible side effects

Like all medicines, this medicine can cause side effects, although not everybody gets them.

Severe side effects

If you experience any of the following symptoms, stop using enoxaparin and seek medical attention immediately:

  • Red, scaly, widespread rash with thickening of the skin and blisters, accompanied by fever. Symptoms usually appear at the beginning of treatment (acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis).

Like other similar medicines (used to reduce blood clotting), Enoxaparin sodium Ledraxen may cause bleeding. This can be life-threatening. In some cases, bleeding may not be immediately visible.

You should immediately contact your doctor if:

  • the patient experiences any bleeding that does not stop on its own
  • the patient has signs of excessive bleeding, such as weakness, fatigue, paleness, dizziness with headaches, or unexplained swelling. The doctor may decide to monitor the patient more closely or change the medicine.

You should immediately contact your doctor:

  • if the patient experiences any signs of a blood clot, such as: crampy pain, redness, increased warmth, or swelling in one of the legs - these are symptoms of deep vein thrombosis; shortness of breath, chest pain, fainting, or coughing up blood - these are symptoms of pulmonary embolism.

if the patient experiences painful rash or dark red spots under the skin that do not disappear when pressed. The doctor may order a blood test to check the platelet count.

  • if the patient experiences any of the following symptoms, contact a doctor immediately:

Other side effects:

Very common (may affect more than 1 in 10 people):

  • bleeding;
  • increased liver enzyme activity. Common (may affect up to 1 in 10 people):

  • large, red, irregularly shaped skin changes with blisters or without blisters;
  • skin irritation (local irritation);
  • the patient may notice yellowing of the skin or eyes and darker urine
    • this may indicate liver disease. Rare (may affect up to 1 in 1000 people):
  • severe allergic reaction - symptoms may include: rash, difficulty swallowing or breathing, swelling of the lips, face, throat, or tongue;
  • increased level of potassium in the blood - this is more likely to occur in people with kidney disease or diabetes; the doctor may check this with a blood test;
  • increased number of eosinophils in the blood - the doctor may check this with a blood test;
  • hair loss;
